From Lehigh Valley Live:
Police are looking for a Nevada man accused of sex trafficking in Monroe County.
Stephen Higgins, 30, of Las Vegas, is wanted on charges of human trafficking, involuntary servitude, and promoting prostitution.
He was last seen at a Tannersville hotel, driving a rented grey Kia Optima with Illinois license plate BD36195. Higgins may have switched cars, and may have fled to New York City, prosecutors said.
He is also known to frequent Nevada, Maryland, California, Ohio and Indiana.
Anyone with information about Higgins or his whereabouts should contact Detective Kim Lippincott by calling 570-517-3059 or via email at klippincott@monroecountypa.gov.
An undercover sting Wednesday at the Tannersville hotel led detectives to a 19-year-old victim of sex trafficking, the Monroe County District Attorney’s office said.
Detectives learned the young woman was working under the direction and control of Higgins, prosecutors said.
Higgins has a history of similar activity in California, including trafficking minors, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors are trying to locate other potential victims, and the investigation is ongoing.

Thoughts? The above article is from two days ago so I feel safe to reasonably assume Higgins is still being sought as of this posting date (July 20th, 2019). Of course, if anyone has any updates presently or in the future they are always more than welcome to let us know.
